Leading Urban Retail Consultant, Robert Gibbs, named Atlantic Avenue. Delray Beach, as one of the top 10 great American Shopping Streets. In an USA Today article about urban shopping districts, he said, “They have what I call the X-Factor of Urbanism. Very cool, historic and filled with interesting shops and restaurants, surrounded with walkable neighborhoods. Vacationers spend more time shopping than on any other vacation activity, making these neighborhoods natural for travelers.”
A few years ago, municipalities were stating their downtowns lifeless, victims of regional shopping malls, online retailers and suburban sprawl. But some urban shopping districts have come back big time. Delray Beach’s Atlantic Avenue shopping and dining district is “decoratively lit, charming streetscapes are filled with an eclectic blend of unique shoppes and fabulous boutiques where the latest designer fashions for your wardrobe, home or office are yours to discover! Downtown Delray Beach offers a mix of shops not unlike New York's Madison Avenue and SoHo with a small town All-America City ambiance and friendly services.”
